Mathias Möhl (http://www.mamoworld.com/) has developed an excellent script for AE users: mochaImport. In this great video Mathias, teaches how use the script for advanced composite techniques in After Effects. He inserts mechanics into his arm using only planar tracking techniques available in mocha, and 2D elements in After Effects.

Carl Larsen shows how to track and replace a sky horizon with mocha, After Effects and mocha shape plug-in. Note: This tutorial was done using mocha for After Effects v2 interface but workflow is the same.

Ben Heusner of Curious Turtle training offers this tutorial covering advanced roto techniques with mocha and After Effects such as procedural matting. Note: tutorial was done with older mocha interface, but work-flow is the same.

No need for expensive contact lenses, we’ll show you how to use the incredible planar tracker in mocha AE to track your eyes, export them as a Mocha shape layer and apply effects in After Effects to create that “white iris of the zombie” look. Another added feature in this episode is how to use Refine Matte to control the feather, spread and choke of the mocha shape layer. This effect gives you control of how much of the original iris shows around the edge stopping the new white iris from blending into the rest of the eye.

The inclusion of this powerful 2.5D planar motion tracking software from Imagineer Systems was one of the most popular features in After Effects CS4. After Effects CS5 comes bundled with Mocha version 2, which includes important new features.
